John Kerry meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give me".
"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Kerry frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"
The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle. "The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair enters the room. "Yes, My Queen?"
The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child, It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "That would be Me."
"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.
Kerry goes back home to ask John Edwards, his vice presidential choice the same question.
"John. Answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure, let me get back to you." Says Mr. Edwards.
Edwards goes to his advisors and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall. Edwards shouts, "Colin!, Can you answer this for me?
Your mother and father have a child and it's not you brother or sister. Who is it?"
Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"\\
Edwards smiles and says, "Thanks!" Then, Edwards goes back to speak with Kerry. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle.
"It's Colin Powell."
Kerry get up, Stomps over to Edwards and angrily shouts in is face. "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair."
May God be with you as you go to the Polls
